Ciudad Juarez lies just across the Rio Grande from El Paso, Texas. A once-
thriving border town, it now resembles a failed state. Infamously known as the
place where women disappear, its murder rate exceeds that of Baghdad.
In Murder City, Charles Bowden-one of the few journalists who spent extended
periods of time in Juarez-has written an extraordinary account of what happens
when a city disintegrates. Interweaving stories of its inhabitants-a beauty
queen who was raped, a repentant hitman, a journalist fleeing for his life-
with a broader meditation on the town's descent into anarchy, Bowden reveals
how Juarez's culture of violence will not only worsen, but inevitably spread
north.
Heartbreaking, disturbing, and unforgettable, Murder City was written at the
height of his powers and established Bowden as one of America's leading
journalists.
